if ur car warranty expired can try eneos, platinum or arrow engine oil

I will go for Eneos! I really like it. Even their mineral touring feels smooth like as if it was semi synthetic.

Higher yield of products means bringing more profit to the company and better year end bonus too..agree?
It is not necessary for them to produce a gearbox that last that long.
my hometown fridge from Sharp last for 20years++ is running now, nowadays fridge can last 10years consider a good product ad..haha..
Reputation is from history ...smile.gif
Nokia 3310 long lasting rite? Throw at dog still can use..tongue.gif

Thats where some people just don't get it. Whether your is broke or not, people will continue to buy new stuff.

what is the best form of advertisement? Recommendations from friends and relatives. Before you buy something new, don't you usually ask someone about the product?

Chances are, somebody will have something good or bad to say about about a particular brand, which will ultimately influence your decision.

For me, TV, the best is SONY, why? My SONY lasted me so long without a single problem, I bought after discussing with my friend who uses a SONY. My second set was a SAMSUNG and I regret it. So if someone asks me, I will recommend SONY for sure. Who gets another customer? SONY! Win Win situation.

Same goes for other consumer products.

Two tai-gors, fridge is good point: agree today's fridge easily spoilt, but do u know which parts spoilt in the 1st place? door rubber harden,yes.Thermostat gone,yes. timer stop,yes.but hardly the compressor or major parts la.Same thing with cars.many parts esp plastic don't last long nowadays,but the engine block/gb/car frame/suspension etc etc major parts MUST stand.old cars give u a lot of small probs until u beh tahan maintain & chg,but not until block crack/gb died mi4 way/rust til drop. People like new cars,tat's how aisin $$ by making good products hence chosen by many car makers.
Not intend to convince u, u & i can continue to live in our own fantasy worlds... lol

btw do u use nokia new hp,not ip4?i do,using x6.drop countless times but still function good.using it to online with u now. rclxms.gif who say new nokia not reliable?

Totally AGREED! Mine is also a NOKIA N8 almost 2years old!

To share, my Tiara also good car. But breakdown due to Timing Belt give way!

My washing Machine is a Panasonic, same age as my SONY TV more than 10years! Still going strong, no problems what so ever! rclxm9.gif rclxms.gif

hmm.. izzit the Radiator Coolant need to refill very often? went to 2nd service they said when last service they add water into the coolant there so they change it and ask me better dun add any water inside(for campro engine).. izzit truth?

I think they mean, dun add any NORMAL TAP WATER and add only premixed coolant or DISTILLED WATER.

To avoid from the contaminants going in.

Wohhooo....  rclxms.gif

Done my 2nd service for my Saga FL ....but this time, price very high this time ...RM323.40....  doh.gif at 1st, just only RM 168 for servicing...then, got this 1 'macha' asked me to recheck alignment since he said need to check every 5,000km ...check², he said 'toe' not balance and front tyre got 'makan' a bit outside...so,they change tyre from rear to front ...after done everything, and see the price like that, what more can I say? Ahaa ..but after that,really satisfied coz my steering respond well ...cornering even more confident ...don't know laa if price like that ( at authorized Proton service center CarWorld jalan klang lama) is expensive .. blush.gif  sweat.gif  rclxub.gif

Well brace yourself. You kena ketuk cow cow already. Bitter lesson learnt. Never ever go back to this shop or even complain to Proton of his overcharging and downright cheating!

Let me list the unauthorised overcharging or cheating for you.

1) Engine flush? Is your FL 10year old car, never serviced before that you need Engine Flush? Cheated! Rm30
2) Windscreen cleaner, (Tesco one bottle 1litre Rm7.90) theirs 1 small bottle? Cheated! Rm5.90
3) Screw Chamber!( Wah my Suzuki ERV 8 year old also never change Chamber Screw before!) Cheated! Rm60
4) Alignment,(at EON i got mine done for RM18 only!) Overcharged you! Rm26
5) WTF Chamber again? How many times they want to charge you the same thing? Cheated! Rm40
6) Balancing and Patching?? Rm34! Wah lau eh! Dunno what to say lah! Rm34

Total theyCHEATED or Overcharged you....RM195.90

So avoid this Service Cheat Centre! Go directly Proton or EON like me. There should 1 EON Service Centre in your state.

Thanks for sharing the information and shop name with us. We can take this as a precaution and avoid this shop!

No one hurt. It's reparable. But will cost a lot. I'm claiming the woman's insurance. I was at rest, waitin for traffic light to change green. A lot of cars there. Then suddenly she came n bang me from the back, while she was smsing, and she wasn't wearing seat belt. Which is the reason why her airbag didn't deploy. Using ipong to post, so I can't post pictures in the meanwhile.

I am not being sexist, but women just can't drive for XXXXs.... Then this woman pandai pandai want to sms at the same time? Serves her right! Blooody heeelll! She could have killed somebody!

I know, a woman almost killed me 8 years ago, blindly made illegal u turn while on the phone and hitting into me. Ended uo with in hospital for 29days and having to go thru 3 operations to fix both my legs...... I curse her as she didn't even have the decency to apologise to me. I curse her.....

Actually mine also wanna choose 1.3FLX Exe....

So, when u first time got your car what on your mind in term of modification? What you wanna do with your car?
*
Ha ha ha, same here, when I was waiting for my 1.3 FLX Executive, alll sorts of ideas come to mind. Change rims lah, bigger tyres lah, Ultra Racing Strut Bars lah, Ultra Racing Anti Roll Bars lah, DRL lah, Hella BM horn lah, F1 Stop Light lah, Night Breaker Bulbs lah, New Tinting for the windows lah, Bonnet Heat Proof (or do they call it aound proofing?) lah, Audio Head Unit lah...........

But after getting it, driving it, only did part of the ideas... Maybe due to the fact all these round up quite expensive leh...

So only things done, Front Ultra Racing Strut Bar, DRL, Hella BM horn, F1 Stop Light, Bonnet Heat Proof.

Anti Roll Bars, the shop didn't have stock so cancel idea, anyway after researching, the ARB can't really help. Jack up your car. You will know what I mean. Talk to your mechanic once the car is up. Maybe the Rear Lower Arm will do some justice but not the ARB.

New rims and bigger tyres, nah, the stock 14" rims and 185/60-14 tyres did very well in heavy rains, and the design of the rim looks good to me.

Night Breaker Bulbs, whoa! First night drive at night, the FLX headlamps are superb man! No need any aftermarket bulbs or what man!

Audio head unit and tinting, nah, too busy, and the Clarion unit sounds good, with USB playability, ok lah. Save money lah!

Hi...anyone fitted AMT Power Cushion Buffers to his Saga BLM/FL??
Me juz ordered a set (front & rear) for my FL. Affordable & can DIY install. tongue.gif

Seems they help to :
a. improve roadholding & ride;
b. prolong absorber lifespan;
c. reduce transmitted road vibrations & noise.

All comments welcomed. notworthy.gif

ps. Link to Trader @ LYN Automotive Garage : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2026334


Added on January 5, 2012, 12:18 pmMore info re AMT Power Cushion Buffers :

ADVANTAGES OF USING POWER CUSHION BUFFER

1. Effectively solve problem of springs weakness when heavy load & improve performance of shock absorber.
2. Improve driving comfort and more stable during curve corner.
3. Reduce pumping of absorber when passing through road hump or yellow line.
4. Reduce noise and vibration during travelling
5. Protect shock absorber and suspension system to avoid oil leak.
5. Extend absorber life more than 2 times.
6. Improve braking efficiency.

Comments?? Anyone...? Good? Bad? No positive effects as claimed? TQ.
